H3318 [H8799]
When thou goest out
H4421
to battle
H341 [H8802]
against thy enemies
H7200 [H8804]
, and seest
H5483
horses
H7393
, and chariots
H5971
, and a people
H7227
more
H3372 [H8799]
than thou, be not afraid
H3068
of them: for the LORD
H430
thy God
H5927 [H8688]
is with thee, who brought thee
H776
out of the land
H4714
of Egypt.
2
H7126 [H8800]
And it shall be, when ye are come near
H4421
to the battle
H3548
, that the priest
H5066 [H8738]
shall approach
H1696 [H8765]
and speak
H5971
to the people,
3
H559 [H8804]
And shall say
H8085 [H8798]
to them, Hear
H3478
, O Israel
H7131
, ye approach
H3117
this day
H4421
to battle
H341 [H8802]
against your enemies
H3824
: let not your hearts
H7401 [H8735]
faint
H3372 [H8799]
, fear
H2648 [H8799]
not, and do not tremble
H6206 [H8799]
, neither be ye terrified
H6440
because of them;
4
H3068
For the LORD
H430
your God
H1980 [H8802]
is he that goeth
H3898 [H8736]
with you, to fight
H341 [H8802]
for you against your enemies
H3467 [H8687]
, to save you.
5
H7860 [H8802]
And the officers
H1696 [H8765]
shall speak
H5971
to the people
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H376
, What man
H1129 [H8804]
is there that hath built
H2319
a new
H1004
house
H2596 [H8804]
, and hath not dedicated
H3212 [H8799]
it? let him go
H7725 [H8799]
and return
H1004
to his house
H4191 [H8799]
, lest he should die
H4421
in the battle
H312
, and another
H376
man
H2596 [H8799]
should dedicate it.
6
H376
And what man
H5193 [H8804]
is he that hath planted
H3754
a vineyard
H2490 [H8765]
, and hath not yet eaten
H3212 [H8799]
of it? let him also go
H7725 [H8799]
and return
H1004
to his house
H4191 [H8799]
, lest he should die
H4421
in the battle
H312
, and another
H376
man
H2490 [H8762]
should eat of it.
7
H376
And what man
H781 [H8765]
is there that hath betrothed
H802
a wife
H3947 [H8804]
, and hath not taken
H3212 [H8799]
her? let him go
H7725 [H8799]
and return
H1004
to his house
H4191 [H8799]
, lest he should die
H4421
in battle
H312
, and another
H376
man
H3947 [H8799]
should take her.
8
H7860 [H8802]
And the officers
H1696 [H8763]
shall speak
H3254 [H8804]
further
H5971
to the people
H559 [H8804]
, and they shall say
H376
, What man
H3373
is there that is fearful
H7390 H3824
and fainthearted
H3212 [H8799]
? let him go
H7725 [H8799]
and return
H1004
to his house
H251
, lest his brethren's
H3824
heart
H4549 [H8735]
should faint
H3824
as well as his heart.
9
H7860 [H8802]
And it shall be, when the officers
H3615 [H8763]
have finished
H1696 [H8763]
speaking
H5971
to the people
H6485 [H8804]
, that they shall make
H8269
captains
H6635
of the armies
H7218
to lead
H5971
the people.
10
H7126 [H8799]
When thou comest near
H5892
to a city
H3898 [H8736]
to fight
H7121 [H8804]
against it, then proclaim
H7965
peace to it.
11
H6030 [H8799]
And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer
H7965
of peace
H6605 [H8804]
, and open
H5971
to thee, then it shall be, that all the people
H4672 [H8737]
that are found
H4522
in it shall be forced labourers
H5647 [H8804]
to thee, and they shall serve thee.
12
H7999 [H8686]
And if it will make no peace
H6213 [H8804]
with thee, but will make
H4421
war
H6696 [H8804]
against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
13
H3068
And when the LORD
H430
thy God
H5414 [H8804]
hath delivered
H3027
it into thy hands
H5221 [H8689]
, thou shalt smite
H2138
every male
H6310
of it with the edge
H2719
of the sword:
14
H802
But the women
H2945
, and the little ones
H929
, and the cattle
H5892
, and all that is in the city
H7998
, even all the spoil
H962 [H8799]
of it, shalt thou take
H398 [H8804]
to thyself; and thou shalt eat
H7998
the spoil
H341 [H8802]
of thy enemies
H3068
, which the LORD
H430
thy God
H5414 [H8804]
hath given thee.
15
H6213 [H8799]
Thus shalt thou do
H5892
to all the cities
H3966
which are very
H7350
distant
H2007
from thee, which
H5892
are not of the cities
H1471
of these nations.
16
H5892
But of the cities
H5971
of these people
H3068
, which the LORD
H430
thy God
H5414 [H8802]
doth give
H5159
thee for an inheritance
H2421 [H8762]
, thou shalt save alive
H5397
nothing that breatheth:
17
H2763 [H8687]
But thou shalt utterly
H2763 [H8686]
destroy
H2850
them; namely, the Hittites
H567
, and the Amorites
H3669
, the Canaanites
H6522
, and the Perizzites
H2340
, the Hivites
H2983
, and the Jebusites
H3068
; as the LORD
H430
thy God
H6680 [H8765]
hath commanded thee:
18
H3925 [H8762]
That they may not teach
H6213 [H8800]
you to do
H8441
after all their abominations
H6213 [H8804]
, which they have done
H430
to their gods
H2398 [H8804]
; so should ye sin
H3068
against the LORD
H430
your God.
19
H6696 [H8799]
When thou shalt besiege
H5892
a city
H7227
a long
H3117
time
H3898 [H8736]
, in making war
H8610 [H8800]
against it to take
H7843 [H8686]
it, thou shalt not destroy
H6086
the trees
H5080 [H8800]
of it by forcing
H1631
an axe
H398 [H8799]
against them: for thou mayest eat
H3772 [H8799]
of them, and thou shalt not cut them down
H6086
(for the tree
H7704
of the field
H120
is man's
H935 [H8800]
life) to employ
H6440 H4692
them in the siege:
20
H6086
Only the trees
H3045 [H8799]
which thou knowest
H6086
that they are not trees
H3978
for food
H7843 [H8686]
, thou shalt destroy
H3772 [H8804]
and cut them down
H1129 [H8804]
; and thou shalt build
H4692
bulwarks
H5892
against the city
H6213 [H8802]
that maketh
H4421
war
H3381 [H8800]
with thee, until it shall be subdued.
